College Avenue
The “extension” of the Lawrence campus! Lawrence students spend time in the numerous coffeehouses, bookshops, boutiques, restaurants, bars, art galleries, and gift shops along College Avenue. There is also a brand new food market within walking distance that opened in the spring of 2007 and Walgreens is about eight blocks away from campus. Downtown also offers the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, Fox Cities Children’s Museum, and The History Center at the Museum.
